To add an SSH key to Engine Yard Cloud

Locate and copy the public key on your local machine. The default location of this file is:

~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

In your Dashboard, click on the Tools drop-down.

Click SSH Public Keys.

Click Add a new SSH public key.

Enter a name for the key.

Paste the key (from Step 1) into the Public Key field.

Click Add Key.

You receive a confirmation that your SSH public key has been created and added to your Engine Yard account.

To Install key to an Environment

After a public key is uploaded your Engine Yard account, it needs to be associated with one or more environments. This ensures that instances contained within the environment have the SSH key installed and are accessible via an SSH client.
